I think it depends. Even if I knew a bit about the subject, I would definitely want to hire someone who actually knows what they are doing for something like a gas pipe, where a mistake could be deadly. But people should know things like replacing a light switch, replacing a thermostat and pumping up a car tire.

Yes, you're making the same point - gas is that "knowing when you reach your limitation" part. But also, being able to push just up against that line and the curiosity/work invested to understand if you're able to do so is important, and very rewarding. There's a chance that people are losing that general curiosity to find that line and realize their capabilities are more than they thought prior to trying.
